New #preprint out! In this paper @naotsuchiya.bsky.social and I take a look at the current debate on theories of #consciousness from a #meta-theoretical standpoint, and we argue that there is an ongoing process of #schismogenesis in consciousness science. [1/n]

Last but not least, I am very grateful for my excellent co-authors on this project! @nirmiteem.bsky.social, @hohwy.bsky.social, @qualiastructure.bsky.social and Makiko Yamada!
If you want to dive deeper into dissociation research, I recently discussed this study and some other upcoming work on the Minds Matter Podcast:

Have you ever felt like your surroundings look unreal? Our new Registered Report (accepted in Neuroscience of Consciousness) studied derealisation and shows that altered visual experiences don’t change how we assess vividness. To find our more: doi.org/10.31219/osf...
Thank you so much for having me!! I always have a blast chatting with @bethfisher.bsky.social and this time was no different! 💕 Also I loved your reflections in the end and how both of you have change your mind perhaps a bit through sharing your experiences with each other. So cool and precious!
We had a really cool chat about the Olo color and its implications for consciousness research. If you’re after an excellent summary of this paper, look no further! Angus did an excellent job 😎
Very happy to see this paper out in @pnas.org! 🧠This project was a result of collaboration with Charles de Dampierre, now CEO at Bunka.ai, and Catherine Tallon-Baudry, my PhD co-supervisor at @lsp-ens.bsky.social and LNC (ENS Paris).

This is beautiful!
image showing a figure that illustrates the brain age prediction framework, whereby a machine learning algorithm is trained with multiple brain MRI images and then tested with new brain data. The new brain data is without an age tag, meaning the machine learning algorithm has to estimate age based on its training. The resulting brain predicted age (here 11) is compared to the actual age in the last panel (here 9), and a difference between them is calculated, known as the brain age gap (here 2).
New preprint! 🗞️
Lucy Whitmore and I discuss the many potential challenges in using the brain age prediction framework in children and adolescents, and make recommendations for future directions.

Last year IIT was branded as pseudoscience. Not with arguments or evidence, but with a now infamous letter.
I believe that IIT is an important research program, but everyone can judge by themselves:

⚠️🚨New @qualiastructure.bsky.social publication, by @gen21ka.bsky.social @arielzj.bsky.social @takeda @naotsuchiya.bsky.social and @oizumi!
I think that the intuition to apply GWOT to Qualia will have significant and impactful consequences!
Please share and follow the authors!

🗣️ Language is widely distributed throughout the brain 🧠
In a recent correspondence in @natrevneurosci.bsky.social, we suggest that there is no 'language network' in the brain. What appears as such is an inevitable illusion created in part by the methods we use.

Okay these cannot be real 😂
Really amazing work from the wonderful @bethfisher.bsky.social et al !!
Check out this fabulous paper led by @bethfisher.bsky.social with @christopherjwhyte.bsky.social on optimism bias!

It’s so cool! Also I think this data goes against many people’s intuition… it’s great to see this research
Ohh i have my fun fact tor the day! 😎
New preprint! ⬇️🤩
We find a reduced self-other distinction in psychosis 😶🌫️, including increased neural activity during self-touch 🧠, reduced latency differences already at the *spinal cord* level 😲, and diminished interoceptive accuracy 🫀.

It’s so great to see Ariel giving this talk at the Royal Institution! He’s put so much thought and effort into writing his book and now it’s getting out there. Incredibly cool stuff

I understand there’s been a surge in Russian bot activity on Bluesky. A telltale sign of Russian bots is that they ignore the punchline of joke posts and write an earnest response to the joke setup. Please block anyone you see doing this on sight
It really was a pleasure to work with Will on this.
Fascinating stuff, and I can only hope it keeps developing! So many more questions yet to be answered, and the ones we touched on here can surely be improved further. Can't wait to see where it leads 😊
Happy new year!
